The Ducks called it a day in 1975, and what better way to sign off than a ,posthumously released, double album of themselves in a live environment terribly recorded on a cassette recorder from the audience?Standard covers,that seemed to be played by every pub band, make another tiresome appearance, 'Knocking On Heavens Door' and 'Route 66'; all sitting comfortably in a set that includes the 'hits'.Guest appearances from Nick Lowe and Lee Brilleaux, add to the party, and the band members all went on to moderately successful post-pub careers.Recorded live at the 100 Club, Oxford Street, London July 1st 1975.Tracklist:

Cival Disobedience is good:

“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.”
